Translation: I would find another country who would be willing to pay workers less money than the mere pennies those currently making my products are paid now because goddammit I need to maintain my middle class lifestyle!
Yep, that is the corporate welfare mentality. Same "fuck you" mentality that allowed the coal mine scams to operate legally in West Virginia. Buy up all the town property, pay in company script, and by the time the under paid workers paid their bills, they had nothing or were in dept. Keep them poor and desperate you can maximize profits and keep labor costs down.
An he doesn't even see how that hurts the labor he'd outsource the jobs too. If we want more global stability then we should want the wages of workers worldwide to go up. We cannot simply have global competition be a race for cheap labor.
